Marie Curie ITN – let’s talk budget

Neeltje Peters — Tue, 10 Dec 2019 08:35:50 +0000

Calculating the requested budget in your Marie Curie ITN application is easy. All you need to do is fill out which researcher will be employed at which institution for which duration, and the online forms automatically calculate the total requested budget. But behind the scenes, internal budget redistribution is strongly advised.
